Green tea has been enjoyed by the Chinese and Japanese cultures for thousands of years, but it was not until relatively recently that the world has discovered the joys of green tea. He is considered one of the supplements based on the most popular plants in the world. Green tea has many nutritional benefits; such as its ability to help weight loss, cholesterol, increase the immune function and improve the cardiovascular system. Why green tea is incredibly beneficial lies in the fact that green tea leaf is rich in healthy antioxidants called polyphenols.
The most powerful of these catechins are EGCG and constitutes from 10% to 50% of the total content of green tea catechin. EGCG in green tea is beneficial for the heart and circulatory health and support the body's natural resistance to cancer of the bladder, breast, colon, esophagus, lung, pancreas, prostate, skin and stomach. It is anywhere from 25 to 100 times more potent than vitamins C and E.
Tea made from tea leaves (unlike herbal teas) are very good for you because they are not only water and phytochemicals (including polyphenols are a part) and caffeine, and very little, unless, of course, sugar or other substance is added before drinking. Green tea contains about half the amount of caffeine in black tea and a quarter of the amount of caffeine in a cup of regular coffee makes a healthy drink that can be consumed to n 'any time of day.
Both green and black tea come from the same plant, but black tea is fermented and therefore contains more caffeine and green tea leaves are not fermented. Green tea leaves are also rich in fluorine and help prevent cavities by inhibiting the enzyme that causes the formation of dental plaque. Another important factor is that people generally consider green tea to cause less nervousness and anxiety than black tea, probably due to low levels of caffeine.
